“…The significant advantages of SMC are: i) fast response and good transient performance; ii) its robustness against a large class of perturbations or model uncertainties; and iii) the possibility of stabilizing some complex nonlinear systems which are difficult to stabilize by continuous state feedback laws. Hence, during the past decades, SMC has received a lot of attention by the control community for different type of systems such as uncertain stochastic delay systems [1], uncertain linear discrete systems independent of time-delay [2], singular stochastic hybrid systems [3], linear systems with time-varying input and state delays [4], systems with mismatched uncertainties [5], distributed networked control systems [6], uncertain stochastic nonlinear systems with unknown dead zone [7], MIMO nonlinear systems [8,9], stochastic nonlinear strictfeedback systems [10], and uncertain linear systems with quantization [11].…”
